In the Silence of Memory. “Exodus” and Istria.
he lecture will present the book with the above title, which, on the basis of individual and collective memories, deals with a taboo subject in Slovenian history, the so-called exodus of the (mostly) Italian population from Istria after the Second World War. The research examines the reasons for the „exodus“ and the lives and relations of those who stayed and those who came to create the new social reality of Istria. The novelty of the research is the ethnological analysis of the memories of the people, which are considered not only from a historical point of view, but also in their emotional context, expressing fears, feelings that still today remain „in the silence of memory“.
